In 2023, Kingspan Insulation completed a roofing replacement project for the High Museum of Art, the largest museum for visual art in the Southeastern US. As it was paramount that the new roof retained the building’ s architectural vision, OPTIM-R was selected as the solution due to its minimal disruption during installation.
Kingspan Insulation’ s Kooltherm is a range of advanced thermal insulation boards for walls or ceilings for both new and retrofit applications in the commercial and residential markets. Using a fiberfree rigid thermoset phenolic foam core, Kooltherm boards have the highest R-value per inch and extensive NFPA 385 compliant assemblies. With contractors continually demanding better insulation products, the Kooltherm K12 Framing Board is widely available across the US.
Lastly, KoolDuct is Kingspan Insulation’ s pre-insulated HVAC system. Associated with premium performance, KoolDuct offers several benefits including reduced installation time, lower weight, space saving through flush-to-ceiling installation, and better energy efficiency.
Believing that its advanced materials and construction methods can tackle some of the world’ s biggest challenges when it comes to sustainability and carbon emissions, Kingspan Group prides itself on three factors: innovation, sustainability, and energy efficiency. To monitor progress, the company established the Kingspan Sustainability Hub, which focuses on reducing emissions, addressing circularity, and enhancing occupant wellbeing.
